Meh
I've realized of late that many of my recent entries are all personal-like, due mainly to the fact that TV is sucktastic right now. Sorry about that.
This weekend The Wire Season 5 begins, and I'm excited even if only 4 other people on my Flist share my enthusiasm. People, you are missing the best show on TV next to Battlestar Galactica, which I am also extememly concerned about because of the strike. It's their last season, and they never finished filming! Who knows if they will? I feel the same about Pushing Daisies, which ended on a cliffhanger of sorts.
Thank goodness the week is over. Despite it being short, I just had no will to be here in work and deal with the toil of the commute. Some days the crowded bus, the crowded Port Authority, the crowded subway, the crowded streets, and the crowded elevator really, really take their toll. Do you know what it's like to constantly be touched by strangers every day? I've never been in such close proximity to absolute strangers in my life, and believe me, even after four years of doing this I get to the point that I'm anxious and frazzled and want to hit someone. You lose your patience, civility, and consideration when you're bombarded by humanity every day. I have a low tolerance for humans as it is. I'm really not made for city life. I'd be happier milking a cow or dealing with animals every morning. Seriously.
On top of that, the only two people I talk to in work were moved to new desks far across the other side of the office. Now the only socializing in which I partake is literally here on LJ.
I need the weekend, obviously.

bitchy
Unfortunately, I won't be home Sunday night....but HBO will air it again, and there's always On Demand..
And I hear ya on the people thing. Most people suck....except the ones I know here on El Jay!!!!
BTW, I was looking at the Starburst Farscape DVDs. I want to pick up season two, but I am not sure what to buy. I thought it would be the 2. series--2.1, 2.2, etc, but the description on Amazon didn't mention eps for 2.1, just extras, so I am not sure what is what.
Wired. ::looks guilty::
There are 3 collections for Season 2, arguably the best and most affordable way to pick up the season. The full Season 2 collection is way too expensive (almost $80!).

I can't tolerate people either. I don't think I could tolerate all that togetherness.
Oh that sucks. That's like teacher changing desks in school... o_O
I know the feeling. I think I'm just about the biggest introvert I know and even though I'm fortunate enough not to have to take public transport into the city every day, just being in such close proximity to people all day every day is enormously stressful. About 900 people work in my building, and of course there are people working all around me all day, and it just seems like someone is in my face constantly, or jammed up against me in the elevator, or I can't walk around a corner without bumping into someone. I would be so happy just pottering away somewhere alone in a vine-covered cottage. I am definitely not cut out for corporate America. I am by nature quiet and I just find it very stressful to have to constantly deal with people day in and day out.
